Fun night at the Q

Helluva game and win on the second night of a back to back with the Hawks. LBJ goes for 48, Joe Johnson for 35. TO, Akon, Fabulous (the last 2 are rappers I don't know ) in attendance. Andy hits his first 3 ever and it's huge, all on Lebron's bday...I'm sure they were thinking about the party that is probably going on as I write this as they trailed most of the night.

Cavs girls in the aisles




 

And these two reminded me of Deb and Hilly from Weird Science




All in all, a bunch of Stella's and Tsingtao's, coupled with some pulled pork sliders at the Clevelander and me and brother Tim had a good night.

In a bit of a funk






After the nice Middle Tenn St win, I've been in a bit of a betting slide. But as they say, rehab is for quitters. BTW, I've never been to this kind of tailgate party. Oh, since the boys beat the Lakers, did you know that we matter again?

Mark Jackson was an ass as a player and worse as an analyst.

Possible ways the Steelers make the playoffs:
FOR THE 5TH SEED
1) Steelers win out.
2) Houston loses one.
3) Jags, Jets and Denver lose or tie one game and Baltimore loses to Pittsburgh AND loses or ties the Raiders.
Results:
5th seed: Pittsburgh 9-7
6th seed: Denver 9-7
We claim the 5th spot based on a head to head sweep of the Titans and Broncos.
FOR THE 6TH SEED:
1) Steelers win out.
2) Titans win out OR Houston loses one.
3) Jags, Jets and Denver lose or tie one game  (Baltimore 5th seed, Pittsburgh 6th)
OR
3) Jets and Denver lose or tie one game and Baltimore loses to Pittsburgh AND loses or ties the Raiders. (Jags 5th, Pittsburgh 6th)
OR
3) Jags and Denver lose or tie one game and Baltimore loses to Pittsburgh AND loses or ties the Raiders. (Jets 5th, Pittsburgh 6th)
OR
3) Jags and Jets lose or tie one game and Baltimore loses to Pittsburgh AND loses or ties the Raiders. (Denver 5th, Pittsburgh 6th)

Good Stuff from Eddie Trunk

Eddie Trunk on Sirius Boneyard  had the author of this book on tonight. Really good interview and now a must purchase for me. Covers Kiss and these guys, along with others from this haphazard record label.

Recapping the weekend

They way things fell in the NFL this weekend, the Steelers still have a chance for the playoffs after pulling one out against the Packers. Jets, Dolphins and Broncos lost, so it makes the Raven game another playoff game. Saints get beat so that leaves the Colts for the quest for the undefeated season. Josh Cribbs is amazing, better than Devin Hester. This Harrison guy for the Browns almost breaks the NFL rushing record? Are the Chiefs that bad or is this a sign of things to come for the Brownoses.

Cavs 5 game win streak is stopped tonight against a Dirkless Mavs team...3 more games out west this week with Phoenix Monday, Lakers on Christmas Day

A Stones Tour in 2010 without Ronnie?

Killer Funny?

Just watched "The Hangover". Rolling Stone says "Killer Funny"...I say, not better than SuperBad. It had it's moments but all in all, I give it a B-.

Heard

Dino Costa, a sports talk host on sirius 123 call Thin Lizzy a one hit wonder....f that!

Cavs face "the Answer" tonight...always a challenge when we go there

Monday Night

Eddie Trunk starts off his show tonight with Electric Phase from UFO...nice

I will say this, after yesterday's NFL  results, the Bengals may make the playoffs but will get beat in the first round, The colts and chargers are on a collision course for the afc title and I think the saints will  be tough to beat in the dome and will face off with either the eagles or vikes in the nfc title game

I like Arizona to cover the 4 on the road @ SF tonight

Lebron "borrowed" some fries from a fan last night @ OKC

Hank Moody hits rock bottom and Trinity kills Dexter's wife...now we wait 9 months for the next season for both

Heard  today Van Halen will tour with Dave in 2010

Good Saturday

Army and Montana (yes, Montana) come through yesterday, making it a nice Saturday.

It was nice to have a night to catch up on DVR'd stuff, such as this, who has this smoking hot chick in it, Bethany McLean....Scary stuff, a company who couldn't answer the question, "how do you make your money?" Could happen again

Looking forward to the season finale's of Dexter and Californication tonight

One Silent Night?

Just got in from the Neil Zaza show with the Santarelli's, One Silent Night. Mix of xmas songs and rock n roll classics, all intertwined...wasn't bad but I can only take so much of music only bands. Half price tix courtesy of Cuzzy. Think the Great Lakes Brewery (pre show meal) is a little over rated but that's just me.

Thank God I come home and Maiden's "somewhere back in time" is on....now THAT's a band

Guess the Cavs held off the Blazers tonight..didn't see a play

How not to handle a coaching change

Only good thing to come out of yesterday's annoucement that Brian Kelly was to become the ND coach was this

Also, Brownnoses win their Super Bowl. I'm waiting for the parade route

60 minutes

Former NBA ref Tim Donaghy was on the show last night. He went to jail for betting on games and got. Interesting stuff.

Kinda agree with Bill Livingston here

Heard Tiger's wife moved out and that Tiger was drinking before the crash


Is it baseball season yet?


UFO's Andy Parker and Vinnie Moore interview

How funny is this

Tebow's Eye Black

What started  out as a good football weekend, turned out lousy....betting and not betting...the Steelers  appear done after losing to Oakland at home.....the Browns finally try, the week I go against them....easy come easy go I guess....sure beats dropping $50 in a slot machine and losing it in 10 minutes

There appears to be some guff about ShaqDiesel....he's here for the playoffs, so expect him to have games off during the regular season,

That Cortney Ford chick is pretty hot, playing on Dexter this season. And speaking of that, heading off for the second to last episode

Night in C-town

Got some late Friday freebies to the Bulls/Cavs game tonight. Gotta say, it's a lot of fun watching Shaq play for us....but the Q is like a circus during the game. The outer concourse has rap music playing and the music while play is going on is kinda crappy....I like the organ music, like MSG plays...thats all you need...Dan Gilbert does a great job of marketing to the younger generation Cavs fan....but for us lifer's....?

btw, on the menu in at the Club Level: Elmore Smith's BBQ chicken sandwich....look him up if you don't remember...nice touch

Thanks Mike Elly...good time

Passed on the trip to Detroit (freebies from WMU AD via Tim) for the MAC title game, but I took Ohio U and the 14 and covered...sha - doobie

Liking things to go "under" tomorrow in the CUSA, SEC and ACC title games

And Tony Pike and Marty Gilyard to win a shootout with Pitt at Heinz. Sorry Chels

Saints roll

...and I'm sure John Carney had the "under" last night, unlike me
